that cannot do as well for more than a single target w/out using use

Because it isn't supposed to. Versions and topics are not the same
thing, and treating topics as versions leads to mishandling.
master is just a name, you may have the main development happen in
another branch (say devel) and the stabler tree is kept on the master
branch and you may want to track both as well.
Or even worse, you get two lines of development you want to track that
stay in completely different vcs. And that is the case of a real
package, not theory. In those cases having a template could help a bit,
having -scm + useflag is exactly the same as having bare useflags and slots.
Then if you continued to read you'll notice that
...you got so incoherent I gave up trying to work out what you're on
about. You still haven't shown how to solve the simple example I gave
earlier in the thread.
Relying to offense because I just pointed out something you dislikes
since you cannot find a argumentative way reply isn't exactly polite or
mature.
